Default IT' S HERE, IT' S HERE!!

My beautiful new baby arrived last week while was in Houston. A brand spankin new Crusader with a cocobolo riser, yew limbs, and birds eye bacote overlay. What a work of art, I' m almost afraid to shoot it . . . . almost. Actually I haven' t shot it yet. I just put the seal skin on the shelf today. I would have done it when it first arrived, but I could not find Barge Cement anywhere in this area so I ordered it from 3rivers. I will follow up with pictures shortly.

Unbelievable how well the riser fits my hand. My Howatt Super Diablo will be on ebay in a few days. I think Chad has made another addict and I haven' t even shot my Crusader yet.

Oh boy, are you in for a treat when you string that baby up and start shooting. I shot Chads last fall, and had to have one. I LOVE THIS BOW!!!!!!!! I got the Crusader, cocobolo riser and yew limbs. You wont be disappointed.

ENJOY[8D][>:]

Is it there yet? Glad you finally got it. I' ll probly end up getting suprised one day when it arrives ' cause I forgot about it. Unless I end up like Troy and stalk the mail guy every day to see if it' s coming. I don' t think I' ll show up at the post office in the morning to sort the mail with them.

What do you think of that bocote? It just ain' t fair--everyone has a prettier Crusader than me......[:' (] I plan on remedying that soon though (I hope). Debating on an all Macassar ebony (ebony riser, veneer over yew limbs) and/or a cocobolo riser w/curly and bird' s-eye maple veneer. Decisions, decisions...........

My ' sader is of the same ilk as yours.....Dathein' s sounds relly pretty too. No complaints about their shooting at all....my (wife' s) only complaint is I now spend less time with her and the boys. Have to convince her that she needs one! The boys are happy to traipse the fields shooting their bows with Dad.
